Optimization of Double Pipe Fin-pin Heat Exchanger Using Entropy Generation Minimization

In the current work optimization of double pipe fin-pin heat exchanger has been studied. The effective parameters those are controlling the heat exchanger performance are divided in two categories; geometrical and operating conditions. Using the Brent’s optimization algorithm and handling the thermodynamically design concept, one can minimize entropy generation in different length of heat excha...

Reliability of Heat Sink Optimization Using Entropy Generation Minimization

The design and optimization of electronics cooling systems is not easily accomplished through conventional analysis tools such as analytical and numerical methods. The enhancement in thermal performance causes a rise in pressure drop, which increases the load of pumping power. Consequently, the overall assessment of cooling system requires a trade-off between thermal performance and pressure dr...

Optimization of Finned-Tube Heat Exchanger with Minimizing the Entropy Production rate

A compact fin-tube heat exchanger is used to transfer current fluid heat inside the tubes into the air outside. In this study, entropy production and optimized Reynolds number for finned-tube heat exchangers based on the minimum entropy production have been investigated. As a result, the total entropy of compact heat exchangers, which is the summation of the production rate of fluid entropy ins...

Entropy minimization in Plate-fin heat exchanger using Cuckoo Algorithm

One of the key stages in designing a heat exchanger is optimization process. The enhancement in thermal performance results in a rise in pressure drop and total annual costs. So, finding optimal dimensions of heat exchanger is a key stage in designing process. In this paper, optimization has been done based on entropy generation minimization, where Cuckoo Algorithm aided to reach better results...
